Ten years ago, Chris thought he was a mistake. Today, everyone he loves is better because he stayed.

This one goes places. Chris, Tony, and returning friend Buzz sit down for the Emmy Edition and end up having the conversation everybody's been asking us to have — the one about men vs. women, why we can't seem to talk to each other anymore, and what it would actually take to come back together.

It's raw. It's funny. It gets real. And with September being Suicide Prevention Month, it might be the most important episode we've done.

In this episode:

• Chris's survivor truth: "I thought I was a burden. The best thing I could do was disappear." — and everything that changed when he did the work
• A message to anyone who tells a man his emotions don't count
• Men vs. women: what happens if we stop competing and start building the next generation together?
• "Your opinion is not your identity" — the line that explains why nobody can have a conversation anymore
• The Lindsey Clancy case: how BOTH things can be true — the system failed AND there have to be consequences
• Fighting broken family courts to protect your own kids — Tony and Chris get personal
• Divide and conquer: the Art of War playbook being run on all of us
• 9/11, 25 years later — the last time this country truly came together
• Buzz's 19-year climb: Harrison Ford, the cast of Shrinking, and the moment he finally said "I did it"
• The news, unfiltered: boomers are having the best sex of any generation (and Gen Z the least), Bumble's AI "wingman," China bans AI girlfriends, and the new testosterone rules
• Emmy talk: Abbott Elementary, Janelle James, and — is The Bear actually a comedy?

If you're going through something right now: you are not alone, and you being here matters. In the US you can call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), 24/7.

Chef Dominick DeFalco — founder of Whisk Takers (Netflix, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Buzzfeed) — joins Chris and Tony to celebrate the release of The Best in You Cookbook. Dom cooks live on the show (gochujang salmon, homemade "Cheez-Its," dark chocolate almond butter cups), and the guys get real about why cooking is the fastest way to reconnect with yourself, your family, and your people.

We talk: why this is NOT a diet book, the 80/20 rule for eating healthy without sacrificing joy, cooking as an act of self-love, the grandmother recipes that shaped all three of us, "poor kid food" (fish sticks, potato pancakes, olive loaf), Dom's 40-lb weight-loss journey, Chris's condition for doing the book, and the one thing that gives you instant gratification the same day you start.

Your husband won't open up. Your son is watching Andrew Tate. And nobody taught either of them how to actually be a man.On this episode of Advice Unfiltered, Chris and Tony sit down with Ben Rose — founder of the men's clothing brand Copala — for an unfiltered conversation on healthy masculinity, in honor of Men's Mental Health Month.They get into why "masculinity" became a dirty word, why the manosphere (Andrew Tate, looksmaxxing, "clavicle-maxxing") is filling a void real fathers used to fill, and what actually separates a boy from a man: discipline, vulnerability, and accountability — not dominance.Ben, Chris, and Tony open up about growing up in broken homes, absent parents, and turning childhood pain into purpose. Tony shares the real story behind the Superman necklace he wears every day — tied to his kids and the darkest moment of his life. And Ben breaks down why he built Copala: American-made, Supima cotton, fair-wage, sustainable men's clothing meant to fight fast fashion and build real community — not just sell t-shirts.If you're raising sons, married to a man who won't talk, or just trying to understand the men in your life a little better — this one's for you.👕 Check out Copala: https://copala.com📱 Follow Ben Rose: @copalabybenrose🎙️ SUBSCRIBE for new episodes of Advice Unfiltered every week — raw, honest conversations on relationships, mental health, and becoming a better version of yourself.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:34 What is "healthy masculinity"?6:06 Why young men are afraid to be themselves8:28 The manosphere, Andrew Tate & missing father figures12:22 Growing up in broken homes17:19 Ben's story: raised by his father, abandoned by his mother19:53 Inside Copala: American-made, Supima cotton, ethical sourcing23:53 Why struggle builds purpose33:00 The emotional connection to fitness45:13 The Superman necklace story52:39 How to handle negative self-talk1:02:14 The future of Copala: linen, retail, and a pop-up tour1:07:26 Where to find Copala + final thoughts#AdviceUnfiltered #HealthyMasculinity #Copala #MensMentalHealth #Fatherhood

Chris turns 50 — and this is the most emotional episode of Advice Unfiltered we've ever filmed. His son Avery flies in as a surprise, both boys interview their dad on camera, and Chris opens up about the addiction, the suicidal thoughts, and the choice to love himself that saved his life. Oh — and somebody ends up eating bull testicles thinking they're a chicken nugget. Welcome to life after 50.This week on Advice Unfiltered with Chris and Tony (S2E31): Chris's sons Isaiah and Avery surprise him for his 50th birthday and take over hosting duties, asking their dad everything from his most embarrassing moments to the best advice he's ever given them ("never give up"). Chris reflects on the friends who didn't make it to 50, the moment his sons' belief in him changed his life, and announces his new cookbook, The Best In You — out now on Amazon.

Ladies, if you've been asking your husband to go to the gym, you've been doing it in the wrong order. Tony breaks down the exact setup that gets a man moving — and yes, it's a little bit of a trick. It works anyway.

This is Episode 28 — our 80th straight week without missing a Tuesday. We also learned a new word that ruined marriage for everybody (tolyamory), got a question about a 22-year sexless marriage, debated whether a post-sex fist bump is ever acceptable, and found out that AARP has been mailing cards to people's wives like a threat. Plus listener questions from South Korea, Puerto Rico, Qatar and India.

Relationship advice, unfiltered. No script, no edit, no filter.

Sex once a month — is your marriage broken, or actually fine? Chris and Tony get brutally honest about intimacy, trust, and the stuff couples are afraid to say out loud. A wife in Toronto has a secret Instagram account with 47,000 followers… filming her husband snoring. A man in Spain read his girlfriend's journal and found out how she really rates him. And a woman in Amsterdam wants to know if once a month means the love is gone. (Spoiler: it doesn't.)Plus: why cheaters ALWAYS get caught, how the gym saved a listener's sobriety, whether couples should ever train together, and the truth about staying fit after 50.This is Advice Unfiltered — real relationship advice, zero filter.

On today's episode we get back to basics.......during the storm! The questions start rolling in but the storm on the East Coast causes the live stream to become blurry at parts but the show must go on. We posted it anyways along with the audio only version. You may not see use perfectly on today's episode, but the Advice is always unfiltered!!

We flew to Vegas last-minute for Dana White's Power Slap — and ended up meeting Theo Von, Michael Chandler, Rhea Ripley, and standing three seats from the action with Ellie Dempster and Jake Hager in the ring. But the real story isn't the celebrities. It's what this whole weekend proved: everybody's fighting a battle you can't see, and the only difference between the people living their dream and the people watching is one thing — they just reached out.This is Season 2, Episode 25.
